New Zealand's switch to proportional representation in 1996 began with a coalition that collapsed. Clark showed how to make the new system work, governing for nine years through minority coalitions and written support agreements with the Alliance, Progressives, Greens, United Future and New Zealand First. She was disciplined about consultation and gave partners real ministerial jobs. The record includes KiwiSaver, Working for Families and the re-nationalised KiwiRail.
